yep! they fit really well, unlike these pictures below which are just way too massive for this forum.Has anyone tried or fitted the Evotech Frame sliders? They are rather expensive, but seem to get the best reviews and seem to be the best out for the 790.

I would combine them with the case savers on either side because you want to ensure two points of contact. With both the case protection and sliders in place, there is no way the engine or radiator will touch the ground.
I should have weighed them before installing but they can't weigh more than 3-5lbs.

Nice pix, Navy! Looks like a nice fit. Are you going with case guards as well?

Thanks Navy! The original pics online from Evotech make them look like they stick out a foot! I was a bit worried about that, but they look great. I was contemplating the case sliders as well....I should do a tipping test to see, but I am going to pick up a set of these sliders now. Appreciate the responses and added info gents!

Purchased the sliders along with the Evotech axle sliders front and rear yesterday. Gonna grab the PP case sliders soon as well. :grin:
@Chic - reviving this thread with a question about the EvoTech bars...
I think they do look great and suite the bike, and seem really nicely designed with two mounting bolts to the frame and the connecting bar across the top coupling both sides.
How difficult were they to fit? I'm thinking about getting them but concerned that they might be awkward to fit, particularly releasing the existing engine/frame bolts - I've busted tools before trying to undo factory (over) torqued bolt.

The bolts came out fine with a little elbow grease. I followed the instructions pretty much exactly. Although the bars going across were a bit of a tight fit, once I got the whole thing in place in and loosely bolted up, I was able to ensure wire routing and clearances and it fit perfectly. Make sure you torque the bolts back to spec when done. Overall, it was a pretty easy job. Took me about 45 mins or so after I had everything laid out and instructions reviewed. I like to take my time an ensure I do it right.
Anyone looked into something more... substantial like this solution: https://motorbikecomponents.it/Marc...tubolare-colore-arancio-o-nero-KTM-Duke-790-R ?

I'll be honest, I kinda like that look. Sorta looks like a 1290 with that engine casing on it. For the most protection, I think this is it. For the price, it looks about the same as the Evotech ones. I guess it's what you like more. I thought I saw that on a site in the US for like $500 or something, which is why I never gave it a thought.
